The rapid increase of vehicular traffic and congestion on the highways began hampering the safe and
efficient movement of traffic. Consequently, year by year, we see the ascending rate of car accidents and
casualties in most of the countries. Therefore, exploiting the new technologies, e.g. wireless sensor networks,
is required as a solution of reduction of these saddening and reprehensible statistics. This has motivated us to
propose a novel and comprehensive system to utilize Wireless Sensor Networks for vehicular networks. We
coin the vehicular network employing wireless Sensor networks as Vehicular Ad Hoc and Sensor Network, or
VASNET in short. The proposed VASNET is particularly for highway traffic .VASNET is a self-organizing Ad
Hoc and sensor network comprised of a large number of sensor nodes. In VASNET there are two kinds of
sensor nodes, some are embedded on the vehicles-vehicular nodes- and others are deployed in predetermined
distances besides the highway road, known as Road Side Sensor nodes (RSS). The vehicular nodes are used to
sense the velocity of the vehicle for instance. We can have some Base Stations (BS) such as Police Traffic
Station, Firefighting Group and Rescue Team. The base stations may be stationary or mobile. VASNET
provides capability of wireless communication between vehicular nodes and stationary nodes, to increase
safety and comfort for ve
